We consider the decentralized control of a discrete-time time-varying linear system subject to additive disturbances and polyhedral constraints on the state and input trajectories. The underlying system is composed of a finite collection of…
We consider the optimal distributed controller design problem subject to two structural requirements: locality, i.e. available measurements and sub-controllers' interactions are governed by a graph structure, and relative feedback, i.e.…

The power interactions of any component in electric energy systems with the rest of the system happen naturally, as governed by the energy conservation principles. There may, however, occur instances when the rate at which power gets…

Stability is arguably one of the core concepts upon which our understanding of dynamical and control systems has been built. The related notion of incremental stability, however, has received much less attention until recently, when it was…
Stability enforcement remains a challenge in data-driven control paradigms, where no parametrised model of the system is available. For instance, the system's instabilities can be estimated in order to enforce a closed-loop stability…

We study the notion of structured realizability for linear systems defined over graphs. A stabilizable and detectable realization is structured if the state-space matrices inherit the sparsity pattern of the adjacency matrix of the…
This work studies data-driven switched controller design for discrete-time switched linear systems. Instead of having access to the full system dynamics, an initialization phase is performed, during which noiseless measurements of the state…
The paper investigates dynamical systems for which the derivative of some positive-definite function along the solutions of this system depends on so-called density function. In turn, such dynamical systems are called density systems. The…
